Day 3 of the Big Ideas Festival and I'm still hanging in there, this is a very good sign I might just make it to Day 12...hehehehe. So today's word was LESS! The idea was to think about what you could maybe do with less of in your life. I thought about all the usual things, like less TV, less stress, less sitting at the computer, less spending money etc. but in the end I went with this...

Journaling: I can do with less of most things in life but.... one thing I won't do is spend LESS time with family.﻿

The Big Idea Festival has started over at Big Picture Classes...YAY!!! For the next 12 days we'll be given a word to use for a layout. I am really excited that I have the time to take on this challenge and look forward to joining in more like this =)

Here's my layout for Day 1...

This is the first time I've created a layout with no photos, it was a bit scary...hahaha. What do you think, did I do ok?

All I can say is hoorah this week is over, can I just say it has not been a good one :( . Tuesday night after work I came home to find an email from SDK's Web Host to say they were going out of business and I had until the 12th to find a new host and move the site...WTF? Once I got my head around that fact, I decided not to continue on with SDK or move the site :( . Definately not the way I envisioned closing the site, it has been a big part of my life over the last 6 years. It has now taken three days to get the domain name secured and sign up with another Web Host... phew! I'm sure it use to be easier. Then today one of my monitors decided to pack it in :sigh:

OK enough of the pity party!!!

So while I may not have a site anymore there is no need to stop giving away freebies, right :) I'm not going to stop designing or scrapping or having a challenge or two. Plus I've just set up a facebook page I plan on posting freebie or two on, as well as here....YAY!!! I'm hoping that the new Web Host I've signed up for will activate my account within the next 24 hrs. New Web Host? So I can still give you all a direct link to my freebies, of course :) ...but until that happens I will have to use 4shared.

Now I know some of you were looking forward to this month's Supa Digi Kits but I'm not sure you will be able to get them all, I'm working on something in that direction. In the meantime here is what would have been my contribution...

LOL... I made this card for the Create a Card Challenge at SDK but left it blank so it will be useful for lots of occasions...

In photoshop I created a new canvas A4 in size, as that is as big as my printer will go. I then arranged the card template pieces so they all fitted on the A4 sheet. Using my kit Just a Man I clipped my papers to the template pieces, then printed the sheet. The multi coloured paper strip were cut in between the strips, then curled to add a bit of depth. The digital flair I attached to a clear circular pebble (I think that's what it's called) again to add depth. A great male themed card I now have ready on hand that was so easy to make!

TVI The Sopranos. I caught an episode a while back and thought this series was not for me but... Hubby started watching this a week ago and as my computer is in the lounge room I watch too. Turns out this series is not what I thought. I love the humour and the day today family issues the main character has to deal with, it's not easy being a Mob Boss.

BOOKSI The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. If you like fantasy books then these are an enjoyable read. We have these as eBooks as well, which is really convenient when traveling. No more lugging heaps of books with us on trips.

MAGAZINESI Digital Photo and Photoshop Creative. Two very excellent mags, full of hints, tips, tutorials and reviews.

MAKINGI I'm thinking Christmas already... I know, I know but it doesn't hurt to make an early start :) The little bag was made following this tutorial 2-5-7-10 Box over at Splitcoast Stampers and the card was made following this tutorial from Quick & Crafty on Youtube...

Have you started on anything for Chistmas yet? If so please share, I'm always looking for good ideas :)

How adorable is she ^.^ I just love those big brown eyes! I created this layout for last month's scraplift challenge at SDK. The papers are something I made for the layout and the flowers and leaves are from my Adorable kit. I really like the softness of the pattern, I was a little worried it would be too much but I think the darker elements help keep it soft.

I'll have a quickpage for you taken from the layout, later in the week :)
